Lotsa famous people spent time in the Herpie...

 

Ha Ha..."Random Chick's" name was Gina...I found her over in the tuner section!!

 

I didn't get her name, I told her no cuddling, forget the pancakes, I just wanna know where she threw my pants and I got the hell outta there!

 

Want to hear something funny? I am going down to NYC to see some friends this weekend and they just gave me a half a dozen cans of "the ugliest pale green" rustoleum.

The color - Apple Green, in satin.

I was tempted to hit up the Fleetline with it, but I don't know about a "Son of Space Herpie"...

 

Half a dozen cans wouldn't come close!!! I think I used about 15 cans of Babyshit Brown and like 7 cans of Terrible Tan on that ride of yours...and it was pretty thin!!!

I actually wanted to paint that heap a real dark satin green with a medium green roof, but Wal Mart didn't have enough cans in those colors...so Fate was decided by stock on hand!!!

 

I am still up in the air colorwise...

I just thought it was funny that they gave me that paint. I might just cheap out and go dark green with light green scallops.

 

i got about 5 more cans i can send ya. i painted mine with 9 cans that shit covers well haha

 

I think I am going to go dark green with light green scallops.

I will rustoleum it for now, but it will eventually be metalic F8 Forest Green (mopar color) with white or light green scallops. Lots of bodywork before it gets the good paint though...

 

Every one is picking those cool greens from mopar. i need to hurry up and paint my car one of them!

 

WTF is rustoleum? Walmart house paint? To think everyone laughed at me when i used house paint!!

 

its spray paint..

 

yeah mate, i guessed that part, but auto paint or house paint?

If its house paint, then i approve!!

 

Went for a ride in the Herpie the other week and have never smiled and laughed so much going round the block, the looks on peoples faces were priceless

 

imagine how smoother it would have been with round tyres??????????

 

I had a dream last night about the car and you had cut the roof off and put some crazy quater panels on it and just made it really weird. So your not allowed to do that.

what the hell did that guy do to it in Oklahoma its having all kindsa issues.

 

Round the block? geez shanks, dont drive it too far mate, you might wear it out!!

hahaha look at Dirty T, having dreams about the car, you missing it mate? Actually, i cant wait to see the bloody thing, i'll be home in 3 weeks shankster, put the kettle on!

 

hey fugness ..
i wasnt driving round the round the blok ... that was fag.XXX. CRAIGAR driving .. i drove danielle to footy with egg styled white walls , and to school ,, and me and james took it to mooraduk for a quik spin ...
its lovely and quiet at about 50 mph . but real windy in the back seat ...oh . abit noisier in the bak as well (so i,m told )
but i dont hear wind, noise ,or complaints ,from drivers seat!!!

dirty t
kirk @o.k. did abit ... i think he spent a bit of money on it before departing with it .....
repainted it ,trimmed it, put cam in it ( sounds cool at idle ... so his description of good chop is pretty close ) bita carpet here and there
but he,s repainted the koffin kikerz and space herpie on boot .. but both look a average...oh .. the roofs still on and 1/4 panels are intact
the only thing i was thinkin was packard rear lamps but a bit too much body work to extend peaks to fit !!!
one day we went to start car and starter pinion was stripped . i took starter off from on top ,, but when refitting i thought i,d better re align ,from underneath . so i jacked up front enough to align starter from underneath ... funny thing is , prior to that i was altering rear tyre pressures to try and get rid of big vibration ,, just felt like it was in rear ,, but whilst in air detailer next door noticed tyre....split tread and egged ... i,m guessing he maybe didnt drive it too much and the problems compounded over 3 months gettin here ???????
thanks for the plate offer ,, but it sounds like nothing americian (as far as rego ) is any good 2 me .. but i,m still asking and looking .
desoto grille is in .. but no ends ..... i fink i have some somewhere . but needto look hard for them ..... will send pic soon
enuf woffeling 4 now
cheers

 

Fugness you are in charge of the kettle out of the 3 of us you make the best coffee

 

This amazes me Craig, how can you do all that fantastic paintwork, build hot rods with ease etc and not make a good cuppa? You know my method, PUT the milk in first, it then doesnt scold the coffee. When we are talking Pablo or International Roast, one has to take care not to "ruin" the fabulous taste of these hi class brands.
Isnt it weird you calling me Fugness! Shanks has only ever been the only one ever to call me that.

 

Just so you guys know you have the weirdest damn slang, i thought we were heavy into the slang.

i slap em jack dem hoes.. shit scott that bitch like 7-up neva had neva will! she jacking me up..... tightly!

 

Ha Ha...I think we need to change the Herpie's name to "The Tralragon Troller"...I could totally see it cruisin' chicks over there...like a sick, green fishing vessel on land!!!

 

I'll repaint the Herpie logo for the price of a round trip plane ticket to Oz and enough beer to get me that drunk again.

 

It won't be that easy...you'll have to smuggle a bag of Detroit's own Better Made chips into the country as well!!!

 

I hate that picture only slightly less than you.

 

hahaha any chance you get to post that pic you do.

 

Hmmm, that's funny...I don't hate that picture at all!!!

 

Great read guys! You never know where cars end up!

 

I think the shanks fugness and I have our own language I still have to explain it to the missess . and I know a cheaper way off getting space herpie writen on the back just see whodaky he lives in this state so no plane ticket to start with

 

Oh please dont drag me down to your Assy Tech level of Engrish mate!! Even I dont understand Shanks part of the time!
